 6.16-

Come and see. The butterfly is yellow, purple, white and black. My backyard has a couple of giant shade trees but for these two squirrels it's a racetrack. Playing peekaboo then tag. Mr. balloon throat camelion was showing off with his upside down sticky feet routine on my raingutter yesterday. Hot shot Cardinal was racing to get an early bird snack this morning.

When life slows down for a quarterback they say he can see the open receiver who was there all along. Slow me down Lord and help me to see your glory.

Julie, Kursty, Lucia, Michael, Pete, Angela, Suzanne, Viven, Joyce, Beverly, Lexi and Ross served me in my shopping exploits this morning. Did I see them? Really see them? One 60 year old Hispanic man that I thought I offended by asking for the spelling and pronunciation of his name came up to me with with hug the next. That Cheers song is not off "sometimes you want to go where everyone knows your name."

Lord open the eyes of my heart.

Luke 10

25 On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

26 “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?”

27 He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’[c]; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[d]”

28 “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”

29 But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”

30 In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. 32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii[e] and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’

36 “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”

37 The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”

Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”

At the Home of Martha and Mary

38 As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. 39 She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. 40 But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!”

41 “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, 42 but few things are needed—or indeed only one.[f] Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”
